As the world’s largest refugee camp braces for heavy rainfall, International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau says Canada will provide an additional $8.15 million to help the nearly 600,000 Rohingya Muslims who live in the camp, and also those who are internally displaced in Myanmar.

“The crisis in Myanmar has triggered the world’s fastest-growing refugee and humanitarian crisis. Canada’s support has helped partners respond to the humanitarian needs of Rohingya refugees, but more help is needed ahead of the monsoon season,” said Bibeau in a release issued Friday.

The chief of emergency support and response for the World Food Program Tommy Thompson told the New York Times recently that the camp is expected to see “landslides, flash floods, inundation,” and that its a very challenging season, even if there isn’t a cyclone.

“These new funds, going to experienced relief organizations, will help refugees and host communities cope with the ongoing crisis, while helping them to be prepared for and better mitigate the impact of anticipated extreme weather conditions,” said Bibeau.

The urgent funds will go toward site maintenance and emergency preparedness, nutrition and food assistance, and health, including sexual and reproductive health and for the protection services for both refugees, their host communities, and internally displaced people in Myanmar.

A statement from Global Affairs says that Canada is “deeply concerned” about the violence in Rakhine state which has seen the displacement of more than 671, 000 Rohingya refugees. The federal government said its vowing to support humanitarian efforts to help refugees who are facing a “desperate”situation, which “could worsen as monsoon season arrives in Bangladesh.”

The government is also calling for Myanmar to allow “unimpeded” humanitarian access to northern Rakhine and to resume life-saving services “without discrimination.”
